Countdown to Retirement

I have about 32 working days until my retirement. The guys at work say I'm too happy about retiring. I think they are wrong. Eventhough it is a little scary, I am so excited about this new chapter in my life. I'll be able to be at home everyday with the love of my life, my wife of 37 years. No more waiting til Saturday to get the yard work done, wash the car and truck, painting, woodworking, setting up my workshop.....When will I have time for it all. Answer: EVERYDAY. Sure we will have to watch our budget closely, but we can do that and some expenses will no longer be there, like gas money for driving to work everyday, lunch money, etc. I'm not wishing my life away, but I really can't wait.

On another note, my grandson, Ayden, has started walking. He will be a year old on the 20th of the month and he is doing well just learning to walk. He is such a joy and a good natured baby. We call him the little man. His sister is 6 1/2 years old and she is also a joy when she wants to be. Today was one of those days. She has started cheerleading for her school football(flag) team. She really enjoys it. While I'm talking about my grandchildren, my oldest is Dylan, age 14. He is a great soccer player and an all out athlete. He recently ran a 6:24 mile and 3 miles in 24 minutes. Soccer is the only sport he will play organized. He is great at throwing, hitting and catching a baseball and has a real strong sidearm pitch, but he is just not interested in playing on a team.

That's all for now. I am about out of battery and too lazy to go get the cord.
